Spearheaded by seasoned players Shaya Adorador and Jasmine Nabor, Foton is looking to reclaim its former glory when the 2023 PVL Invitational Conference commences on June 27.
In a surprising move orchestrated by the mother company UAI, Adorador and Nabor were transferred from Chery Tiggo to Foton, solidifying their roles as instrumental leaders within the team.
Their previous success in leading the Chery Tiggo Crossovers to victory in the 2021 Open Conference has only heightened expectations for their performance with Foton.
Seth Rodriguez, May Luna, France Ronquillo, Bingle Landicho, and Jaila Atienza were also moved from Chery Tiggo to Foton.
Moreover, Foton has secured the services of Nene Bautista, a standout player from Army, as one of its three guest players.
The Tornadoes have also added two exceptional talents from the collegiate ranks to their roster.
Mary Rhose Dapol, the reigning NCAA MVP from University of Perpetual Help System DALTA, and Sydney Niegos from Jose Rizal University, will serve as key players for Foton. Their presence brings a youthful dynamism and fresh perspective to the team, contributing to its overall strength.
In an unexpected twist, Foton has managed to secure the pro debuts of renowned UST beach volleyball player Babylove Barbon and Maji Mangulabnan.
Completing the formidable lineup are Bern Flora and Carly Hernandez.
Foton finds itself placed in Group B alongside Choco Mucho, Cignal, F2 Logistics, Petro Gazz, and Farm Fresh.
The intense battles that lie ahead will put Foton's revamped lineup to the test, providing an electrifying display of talent and determination on the court.
